                                DIGNITY

                                 ______


                        HON. MAURICE D. HINCHEY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 14, 1994

  Mr. HINCHEY. Mr. Speaker. I rise today to speak in tribute to the 
13th Annual Humanitarian Awards being held by the Ulster County 
Association of Retarded Citizens on Friday, April 29. UARC is a group 
that I have long been associated with and I support their tireless 
advocacy on behalf of and services provided to people with disabilities 
in our community. Their commitment to enabling all people the ability 
to live dignified, productive lives to the fullest ability of each and 
every individual is a commitment that is too often undervalued in our 
society. I endorse, applaud, and champion that mission and I thank them 
for all of their continuing efforts.
  I would also laud Alex Palo, who is being awarded the Pilot 
Industries' 1994 Employee of the Year Award. Mr. Palo is a living 
example of the potential an individual can strive for and achieve. He 
has thrived at JM Originals in Ellenville NY, and is now a 
conscientious, and hard-working individual, and taxpayer. I 
congratulate him on his achievements and wish him much continued 
success in the future.
